The above sea monster, which apparently was not Photoshopped, is a 297-pound warsaw grouper caught near an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. The story was originally reported by KETK, and the guy who caught it, Cullen Greer, is a Houston native who made the catch off the coast of Venice, LA. He said it took him 30 minutes to haul the thing in.

The trophy grouper measured 6 feet, 6 inches in length and had a girth of 6 feet.

If the catch is verified by the Louisiana Outdoor Writers Association, it will rank as the fifth-largest warsaw grouper ever brought to port in Louisiana.

Wow. An impressive catch for a fisherman who will surely have a story…Wait. Wait a second. THE FIFTH LARGEST? There have been FOUR LARGER warsaw groupers caught before in Louisiana?

This thing is the size of William “The Refrigerator” Perry and you’re telling me there are bigger ones out there? How have I never even heard of a warsaw grouper before?

Apparently they don’t eat humans, but instead only feast on other fish, crustaceans, and octopus. I don’t believe that for a second. I know when something wants to eat me, and that fish wants to eat me.

The lesson, again: Never ever go in the ocean because it is filled with terrifying things that are all trying to kill you.

Look at this massive, nightmarish fish a guy caught in the Gulf of Mexico
